Quitting is not an option.

I refuse to accept that just because someone is in difficult position, that person should die.

It may be illogical at the moment to continue to live because the situation is so horrid and the pain is too great and ending the suffering may seem to be a mercy.

But if everyone quit just because life sucks, then humanity wouldn't be alive today.

Perhaps today sucks, but tomorrow might be better.

If you quit now, you'll never have the chance to win.

I was told a story once. A Canadian soldier went on a peacekeeping mission to East Timor. He was there for 6 months and that place was a mess when he got there. But one day, he and his team went to a village and he had a talk with a local woman. The woman thanked him for what he was doing, because it made a difference in her life, even if it's temporary.

Sure, helping them now may just be prolonging their suffering. But rarely we find the perfect solution to humanity's problems.

If we keep trying, one day, we might find that solution.

In the meantime, keep trying, even if it means failing sometimes because sometimes, failures count. It means that we give a damn about fellow humans. It means that we are trying to help them survive.. It means that we are trying to help humanity survive.

Giving up on those who are suffering means we give up on humanity.

I do not accept that.

Whoa, you guys need to chill out, so here is a picture of a swan:

That is the most simple yet perfect answer there is. To help those that are not going to fully benefit from the help is like you said a band aid solution. Unfortunately society will never understand this. Our own guilt and morals prevent us from doing what is best for these people. Let the sick and unhealthy pass on and focus on helping those who will actually benefit. Many third world nations would be better off if this sort of ideology was implemented. Even our society would benefit from such a belief.

Its feeling bad for the suffering of others that will destroy society.

About 3 years ago, i decided to be a vegetarian. That only lasted about 8 months. I realised that even though I was eating healthy foods, my body was lacking a lot of proteins that are mainly found in meat. Also, it was difficult for me to be a vegetarian because my town did not have any meat alternatives (ie tofu, etc).

LOL!

I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin', but word on the street is humans are not very tastey. That said I imagine babies would be quite tender.
